ASBO International Response to COVID-19 In addition to sharing information and resources to support our members during this difficult time, ASBO International is working with our Legislative Advisory Committee, education coalition partners, and federal officials to advocate for flexibilities and assistance for schools impacted by COVID-19

The Value of Membership

"I could not have survived 30 years in school business without the support I've received from ASBO. No matter how much you may think your problem is unique, it's not. I've always found support from colleagues facing the same issues no matter where they work, and I've shared solutions. We have a lot to learn from one another, so I value my memberships in Tri-State ASBO, New Hampshire ASBO, Vermont ASBO, and ASBO International."

Certification

Important SFO Updates!

Public Safety & Response to COVID-19 Concerns
Adhering to guidelines for public safety is first and foremost. This has led to new policies and/or procedures that will allow the ASBO International certification department to fulfill the needs of its certification community with as little disruption as possible. Below are a few changes that go into effect immediately:

Temporary Closure of Pearson Vue Test Centers
Pearson VUE-owned test centers (Pearson Professional Center – PPC) located in the US and Canada will open effective May 1st only where there are no restrictions prohibiting operation (e.g., states that have lifted lockdown orders) and they will extend the temporary suspension of exam deliveries in US and Canada through May 31 where restrictions remain (e.g., states that have NOT lifted lockdown orders). Should these test centers close, candidates will receive a cancellation notification.
For more details or updates, please visit https://home.pearsonvue.com/coronavirus-update.

Extended Test Eligibility
Due to the uncertainty of the duration of COVID-19, candidates approved to test will be given a one-year extension to schedule and sit for their exam (this includes retesting). Extension fees will be waived.

Certificate Printing and Shipping
The mailing of certificates will be discontinued for new SFOs, recertificants, and duplicate requests. Beginning March 23, certificants will have 24/7 access to log into their SFO account and print their certificates.

We put these measure in place to ensure your safety. Other program changes may be made as the certification department continues to monitor this evolving situation. Please contact certification@asbointl.org with any questions or to let us know there is anything we can do to provide assistance. Stay safe and healthy!
